You're not the Customer... You're the Product.We often see people upset about changes in social networks like Facebook. Folks complain about "customer service", not realizing that they are not the customer! It's often the advertisers, or other backers, who are the real customers. And what those customers want is information... about the users of the service.
I'm a big fan of free online services, but it's important that people realize what's going on. It starts with the privacy policy, which explains how an online service intends to use your data and information about you.
But I want to talk about cloud storage services. These services allow you to backup files, sync files between systems and devices, and have files available from anywhere. How are your files protected?
